| To be honest, this is a really difficult question, and I'm one of those people whose opinion on such matters keeps changing. But if you want a mainstream, normie opinion, just check out the folks at WatchMojo.com: Mod edit: Added spoilers to youtube videos to reduce loading time. Currently, my love is directed at Durarara's second opening (Complication), Fate/Zero's second (To The Beginning), and GTO's Driver's High. Check back with me in a few days and you'll here a different story. |

| For me its "Grain" , Monster's op. It is just so damn addictive and unconventional, and I've always been a sucker for instrumental stuff(Monster's op has no lyrics) |

| "The Everlasting Guilty Crown" by EGOIST (Guilty Crown), "Answer" by BUMP OF CHICKEN (SanGatsu no Lion) & "Aoi Shiori" by Galileo Galilei (Anohana) are my joint-favourites of all time! I'm a huge fan of all the three artists but these songs, in particular, go beyond that. Perfection to me, really. Vocals, Music, Lyrics, Visuals - Check! Honorable mentions include "Complication" by ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D (Durarara!!), "GO" by BUMP OF CHICKEN (Granblue Fantasy: The Animation), "Ranbu no Melody" by SID (Bleach), "Shinzou wa Sasegeyou" by Linked Horizon (Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2) & "Katharsis" (Full Song only) plus "Unravel" by TK From Ling Tosite Sigure (Tokyo Ghoul & Tokyo Ghoul:re Season 2). |

| i have a lot of favorite OP, but currently i cant stop listering to Jiyuu no Tsubasa - Attack on Titan seriously, that OP is underrated it keeps growing after some repeat, and make me want to jump and fly with 3dmg |
 |
| this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uints81YYMc do I really have to explain why? |
| :v |
| The Domestic na Kanojo OP is one of my favorites for sure: I like the visuals and the song is just bomb. |

| Ah, this quite difficult to answer as there isn't just one, and it shouldn't be that way. However, my current infatuation is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=armte0mUnDw |

| Again is not best OP of FMAB, the best song probably. Attack on Titan or Soul Eater for example have better first OP. |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Hmmm that's a hard one since I have so many that I like. For the music: I really love both Noragami openings, Black clover op 3, the ancient magus' bride op 1 and the full version of domestic na kanojo's opening For visuals: the opening for Zombieland saga is probably my favourite it's just so cool to watch As for the emotions that come with an op like hype or wanting to cry: The attack on titan openings, one punch man opening 1 and Bye Bye Yesterday from assassination classroom are probably the best ones I've seen |
| Connect - Madoka Magica I have loved this one before I read the translated lyrics, and I started loving it even more after reading them. I fell in love with it again when I understood its meaning, and I love the way it tries to deceive us. Catch you Catch me - Cardcaptor Sakura This song has been inside my head for so long that basically its part of me. I watched CCS when I was little and had no understanding of Japanese. I was never able to finish the series when it aired on TV but after almost 15 years, I watched CCS again when I entered the world of anime. It's nostalgic, and an all time favorite. Colors - Code Geass I started watching Code Geass just because I really liked the OP when I watched it on YouTube. |

| Do you have any favorite original sound tracks from anime shows which aren't openings or endings? You can also tell why they are your favorite ones. My favorites: |
 |
| These Jojo's tunes are gold: These are also great: |

| Made in Abyss still gives me the chills |
  |
....Too many to list.... I'll just list some of them then...
.....sorry couldn't resist the urge to pick more than 3 separate tracks... seaweeb-uwu said: Madoka Magica, especially the Rebellion one, a seemingly endless emotion rollercoaster that runs throughout the whole movie, great stuff. ayyyy |
 |
| These 2 for sure |
 |
| I love all Evangelion OST, especially this one (title of soundtrack is spoiler) Mob Psycho 100 also have amazing soundtrack |

Because of ''Grand Entrances''. There's more but this should be enough. If u know some similar ones, please let me know. |
 |
| Oh boi, nothing is better than Made in Abyss. Every single track is legendary, but here are my favorite ones: |
| Oh my god, there's so many I could name, but I'll stick with four or five for now. And a ton of other people have already said JoJo's so I'll try and do something else. |

| basically the entire soundtrack of Durarara!! but if I had to pick a couple favourites: - Ikebukuro West Exit Five-way Intersection - The Sought After Extraordinary - Walk on The Diagonal - On Tuesday Night I've also took a liking to the Dr. Stone OST and these are my favourite tracks: - Get Excited! - Beginning - Chemical Boys Boogie Mix Banana Fish has some dope songs too: - Dino - Oathkeeper - Tears of the Lynx - Prayer I also really want to mention Isabella's Lullaby and Dancing Krone from The Promised Neverland |
   |
| Belfore no Kodomo-tachi from Fantastic Children. I love the entire soundtrack to be honest; it's so beautiful and it's stuck with me for years now. |
| Air Gear - Everything .Hack//Sign - Fake Wings Nanatsu no Taizai - Perfect Time Queen Millenia - Cosmos Dream and also definitely this one Zakle said: Belfore no Kodomo-tachi from Fantastic Children. I love the entire soundtrack to be honest; it's so beautiful and it's stuck with me for years now. |
   |
| All of redlines OST is pretty fucking lit. Loneliest girl from Carole and Tuesday is freaking beautiful but like does this even count ? Made in Abyss kind of stays with you it feels pretty emotional and grand. Same shit with the Berserk OST its beautiful in a haunting kind of way. The Spice and Wolf OST has this pretty nice relaxing fantastical vibe that's missing in all other relaxing fantasy types series. A good OST can really add to a show but this are the ones that I can think of right away but there's tons other good ones. |
 Truly, comparisons between fellow humans are what turn out to be the most infuriating. |
| Do insert Songs count? If so, then I have to give it to the "Love Live" Franchise since it has some of the best inserts songs in Idol Anime. Some of the songs in the show make me Shed a tear even thought it was mostly because of the context they were sang in the Show. Here are some of the best. Snow Halation by µ's: Start;Dash by µ's No Brand Girls by µ's: Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikaru by µ's: (Even though this was technically the ED for the movie it felt more like an Insert.) MY MAI☆TONIGHT by Aqours: Wonderful Stories by Aqours: Couldn't find the Anime versions of all of them since the only ones uploaded by Lantis are the ones that came out before or between seasons of the Anime but I linked the ones I found. And for the fans, Sorry for Reopening some Old wounds with some of those songs. |

  愛がなければ、見えない。 Without Love, the truth cannot be seen. |
| We all have those Openings that just make us sing and dance, or even humming and tapping your feet to it every time you hear it. What are your favorite openings and side question: any anime you started watching because of the opening. For my favorite openings, it has to be FMAB's openings. Just so catchy and all different and good in their own ways. I also started black clover just because of opening 3. Have a good day |
| All of Gintama’s openings . And to be more specific OP21 “I wanna be” . As for your second question, I watched F/SN Because the Opening looked gorgeous . |
| In no particular order: |
  ブレ ブレ ブレブレ |
| Cowboy Bebop - Tank (started watching because of the op) JoJo Part 4/5 - Great Days/Traitor's Requiem Nekomonogatari - Perfect Slumbers I also started watching Evangelion because of the various parodies of the opening on Youtube |

| Oh god damn, my list is long and changes every time I do one of these. These choices are also based entirely on music. The visuals don't really matter to me as long as I can jam to it. |
| I pretty much like OPs of A1 pictures. Like Darling in the Franxx,Your lie IN April.There are still many more and 2nd OPs of One Piece. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| In no particular order: FMAB OP4 - Period JoJo Part 4 OP3 - Great Days JoJo OP2 - Bloody Stream BNHA OP1 - The Day Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? - Onegai Muscle Shokugeki no Souma OP1 - Kibō no Uta Tokyo Ghoul - Unravel Shingeki no Kyojin OP1 - Guren no Yumiya Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 1 - Red Swan One Piece OP 1,3,11,13,14 - We Are , Hikari E , Share The World , One Day , Fight Together There are a lot more but these are the ones that immediately came to my mind |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Nothing beats the greatness of Tsukuyomi's opening |

Pylia said: Many Shaft openings, whether from Monogatari series, Arakawa und the Bridge or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, etc. there is a large variety of creative and memorable openings to be had. I agree, shaft has some kick-ass openings. I'm also partial to the first FREE!! opening |
